Product Description

Product Description

'The Crossing' is the brilliant new studio album from legendary singer-songwriter Sophie B. Hawkins. Since her breakthrough with the indelible hit single 'Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover' and her acclaimed debut album "Tongues and Tails", Sophie B. Hawkins has proved an enduring artist with a fierce commitment to constantly evolving whilst staying true to her own authentic history and experience. 'The Crossing' is her long awaited new studio album. It is a searing, lush and startlingly naked chronicle of the most intense period of her life. All of this emerges in songwriting and vocals that mix the brashly playful and the unabashedly poignant. The record contains 13 brand new songs plus 4 bonus tracks, including new acoustic versions of her biggest hits - that have helped Hawkins sell over 9 million albums worldwide to date.

5.0 out of 5 stars sophie at her best! 21 Jun 2012
By Mr. Nathan Armstrong VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
sophie has a raw and intimate vocal which is unique! she is deeply underestimated!

people know her best for her debut single "damn i wish i was you lover" ...every album has some stand out tracks and this no exception....but i will focus on the good!

"the land the sea and sky" shows her at her best vocally and as a songwriter..."life is a river" has beautiful lyrics and an amazing vocal..."miles away" is as personal as every song sophie writes and it has great lyrics!

some great tracks but some self indulgent tracks!

but you wont be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful back!!!!! 2 July 2012
By benek
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Fantastic Sophie returns with new album after a long break! For so long, but we always wait. The compositions, as usual, in the style of Sophie and very well that there is no fashion! Beautiful acoustic versions of greatest hits. The entire record consistent and beautiful. May not have to wait for another for a long time. How much I would give to see Sophie live in Europe, they are your fans and I am a loyal Polish fan since 1994 :) Genialna Sophie wraca z nowym albumem po d'ugiej przerwie ! Tak d'ugo ale warto zawsze czeka' . Kompozycje jak zwykle w stylu Sophie i bardzo dobrze , 'e nie ulega modzie ! Pi'kne akustyczne wersje najwi'kszych hitów . Ca'a p'yta spójna i pi'kna . Oby nie trzeba by'o czeka' na kolejne za d'ugo . Ile bym da' by zobaczyc Sophie na 'ywo w Europie te' s' Twoi fani a ja jestem Polakiem wiernym od 1994 roku :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Damn, it's nice to have her back 3 July 2012
By Mr. H TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
Yes! That Sophie B. Hawkins. Remember? From the nineties? 'Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover' and the other one. Thingy. 'Right Beside You'. And, um, 'Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover'. No, we've had that one already. Anyway, 1992 was a big year for Ms Hawkins, what with the hit singles and all that goes with it. I would like to claim that she's kept herself busy since then, but a workrate of 4 albums from her debut to this 2012 release, "The Crossing" would seem to indicate otherwise. Apparently, there was an argument about a banjo in nineteen ninety something which scuppered one of her albums, and she took a half.

So, based on the two songs of hers that I know, and an admiration for her stance regarding said banjo, what do I reckon to this album. Well, it's alright. You won't be surprised to learn that Ms Hawkins is a bit of a hippy liberal, so there are songs about Hillary Clinton, the Gulf Of Mexico oil spill, and the illegal trafficking of puppy organs by multinational corporations who have to remain anonymous for legal reasons. Soundwise, not much has changed in the last twenty years. It's still jazzy, folky, country, poppy singer songwritery stuff. With the odd power ballad for luck.

She was always a good singer and her voice remains very listenable. When the songs perk themselves up a bit, as they do on the likes of 'Sinnerman', 'Georgia' and the jazzy 'Dream St & Chance', it all becomes very good indeed. But there is a fair amount of driftwood like 'Red Bird' that probably sounds great down the hummus bar, with a glass of ethically produced Chardonnay, but which in the cold light of day just doesn't catch fire.

The album has also been artificially lengthened with some acoustic and demo tracks, including a rerun of 'Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover', just in case you'd forgotten, but at seventeen tracks, it's at least six tracks too long. Having said that, Ms Hawkins always had a talent that needed a wider audience, so it's is good to have her back on the scene.
